Kentucky fried road-dogs the Vibrolas belch
up their
sophomore slab of delectable trailer
rock.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of
getting
rocked into dust by this ferocious
power
trio already, than this well serve
as a
fine introduction to their world of
wrench
n’ roll. The Vibrolas sound is led,
like
a dog on a chain, by the skronking guitar
of Chris
Hosner. In lesser hands, songs like
“Motorcycle
Woman” and “350 Rocket” would
be mere
greaser rock pastiches, but Hos’s
mighty
gasohol guzzling axe turns them into
headspinning
speed metal workouts, like Metallica
drag
racing tractors or something. I don’t
know
a thing about cars ( I own a Mazda 3,
for Chrissakes),
but I know plenty about
Sabbath
and the Nuge, so I can heartily recommend
heavy
ass muthas like “Iomminizer”, “The
Ballad
of Dorcas Figg” (also on the Cock
N’ Roll
compilation, by the way) and the
epic
“Beerache My Eye”, if you dig them hairy
and scary.
“From Parts Unkown” is available
online
from the fine folks at Eugene Records,
but if
you wait a couple days, the Vibrolas
will
surely be playing at your local rock
dive,
and you can buy it from them. Maybe
even
a copy they have personally spilled
beer
on. Grease never sleeps.
